#ROW80 check-in 11/04

Hey friends! Welcome to my weekly ROW80 update!

Here is my goals for the past week and how it went:

  • Avoid hurricane! It came, it was a mess, but we are safe and sound. The only major thing here was the loss of power. We saw lots of fallen trees around our neighborhood, but thankfully none fell on our house. I confess the force of the winds scared me a bit, but I soon realized the house would stay up lol
  • Writing: Just keep writing. We lost power Monday afternoon and got it back Friday evening, kid didn’t have school all weekend, and I had my 4 wisdom teeth extracted on Fri morning. Writing? What’s that?
  • Reading: read book #65 of the year. Read book #65 and #66. If hubby and daughter didn’t ask me to join at each game they invented to pass their time, and if I hadn’t gotten so dizzy and sleepy after the surgery, I would have read one more.
  • Social media: I want to spend LESS time on twitter and blogging—so I can get more writing done! Ha, haven’t done a thing the whole week. Even with internet on my phone, I tried saving its batteries.
  • Exercising: at least 3x. Big fat zero. The gym was closed for 3 days, then there was my surgery …

Well, what did I expect? To write and exercise after a hurricane and a surgery? Really? Sometimes I expect too much of me, and I’m always disappointed when I can’t deliver. Anyway, nothing I can do about it now.

 

My goals for next week:

  • Writing: Just keep writing. It’s time to catch up with NaNo.
  • Reading: read book #67 of the year.
  • Social media: I want to spend LESS time on twitter and blogging—so I can get more writing done!
  • Exercising: at least 2x. My doctor said I shouldn’t exercise for a whole week after the surgery, which means I shouldn’t exercise once this week …

The problem with this week will be Tuesday—because of elections, school is closed which means kiddo will stay home and I won’t get anything done. Let’s hope I can catch up with NaNo in only 4 days (I should have 15k words by Fri to be on top of it).

 

On my blogs this week:

 

Don’t forget to check out how the other ROWers are doing! Have a great week!

Cheers,

  2. Whee, a hurricane and getting your wisdom teeth pulled? I’m impressed you managed to get anything done at all (when I got my teeth taken out, I think I spent 2 weeks in bed eating chocolate pudding and reading novels, lol).

    I’m so glad you’re all safe after the big storm. Take it easy, and good luck catching up with NaNo!

  3. Wow, I’d say that’s expecting too much for sure! But hey, we all do it. You *thought* about writing, and between having no power and getting dental work, that was accomplishment enough. Glad to hear you’re OK, and good luck getting back into it this week!

  5. I’m glad to hear you and your family are doing okay after the hurricane. It’s always scary when one of those hits your area. I know what you’re going through with the wisdom teeth surgery – I’ve had the same surgery and you really can’t do anything for a few days afterward. I hope you get a lot of writing done this week, though! :)

  6. I think considering a hurricane, no power, and a surgery the little bit of progress you made is just fine. Glad you made it through all that okay.

  7. What’s with schools closing for election? That doesn’t happen down here. Interesting.

    It’s also interesting that I started my first novel right after Hurricane Ike, when my house near the Gulf Coast was a wreck and we had evacuated to San Antonio. With nothing to do and a laptop, I finally started writing a book…and–amid house and roof repairs for months–finished it. Here’s hoping you get a post-hurricane whirlwind of writing done as well!

    Glad you’re okay–from the hurricane and the surgery.
